​Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to potentially halve the number of power cuts across the UK’s energy system if a new trial being conducted by UK Power Networks (UKPN) and Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) is a success.

​Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology could provide 38GW of flexible capacity to the grid by 2030 according to Octopus Energy, which is calling for drivers to sign up to the Powerloop V2G consortium launched earlier this week.
